I chat with Journalist Evan Balgord (@ebalgord) who covers the Canadian far-right and antifa. He’s been on the ground for a lot of the rallies and provides some very interesting insights. • The rising far right in Canada is not covered enough in my opinion, especially as Canada seems to be discussed in this idealistic way in comparison to Trump Country. • Of course, things are better in Canada and racial tensions are not as high as the US. But a lot of key far-right, alt-right, alt-lite figures are indeed from here (Lauren Southern, Stefan Molyneux, Gavin McInnes to name a few) - something to keep in mind. • We talk anti-Muslim movements, the controversial and often misunderstood M103, plausible deniability as a far-right tactic, and some ways in which also the left misses the mark on addressing Islam. • Here is Evan’s wonderful episode for Canadaland on The Rise of the Right: http://www.canadalandshow.com/podcast... • We also discuss hypocrisy in the ‘free speech movement’, the SPLC lawsuit. Not everyone will agree but here are some links regarding my views on that: • twitter.com/NiceMangos/status/909205261650399237 • I found this to be a good piece: • https://www.popehat.com/2017/06/29/ho... • And this part of the write up was especially concerning: • twitter.com/21logician/status/885998178008477696 • More free speech hypocrisy re ACLU twitter.com/RubinReport/status/884941607740375040 • —— • Some links we discuss: Shooting at Charlottesville https://gizmodo.com/new-video-shows-m... • Texas mosque fake story www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41147572 • BLM escorting Nazis: twitter.com/qwrrty/status/898999067673378817 • twitter.com/qwrrty/status/898998907375464448 • twitter.com/qwrrty/status/898998824760487936 • twitter.com/qwrrty/status/898999471396212736 • If you enjoy the show, please consider supporting via Patreon.
